[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An embodiment in which the container with a quantitative function of the present invention is applied to a powdered milk container is shown in Figs. This powdered milk container is composed of a can body 10, a partition plate 14, a joint column 35, and a top cover 40.

The can body 10 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the lower portion of the can body 10 forms a reduced diameter portion 11 that reduces in diameter toward the can bottom. The reduced diameter portion 11 has a function of improving the aesthetics of the powdered milk container and of making the can body 10 easy to hold by hand. The upper end of the can 10 has a stepped diameter, and the partition plate 14 is rotatably locked to the inner peripheral edge 13 of the stepped portion. The partition plate 14 has a disk shape, a center hole 16 is provided at the center, and a fan-shaped through hole 15 is formed on the outer peripheral side thereof.

A bottom edge 41 of a transparent or translucent top cover 40 is rotatably fitted to the outer periphery 12 of the upper end of the can body 10. The upper end of the top cover 40 forms an arcuate upper surface 48. At the upper end of the top cover 40, a fan-shaped opening 46 having a central angle of about 90 degrees or about 60 degrees is formed so that the top cover 40 is recessed toward the can body 10. The cutout portion 46 is defined by a bottom plate 44 capable of opening and closing the both-side sealing side walls extending in the radial direction of the top cover 40 and the through hole 15. A hollow joint column 47 extending toward the can body 10 is provided at the center of the axis of the top cover 40, and the lower end of the joint column 47 is rotatably engaged with the center hole 16 of the partition plate 14. Further, in the vicinity of the cutout portion 46 of the top cover 40, a cylindrical lead-out port 43 extending toward the non-can body side is provided. The lid 45 that can open and close the upper opening of the outlet 43 and the plug member 50 attached to the upper opening of the joining column 47 are connected by a connecting portion 51. The plug member 50 is made of an elastic material and has a vertically U-shaped vertical cross section. An annular projection 52 formed on the outer periphery of the plug member 50 fits into an annular groove 471 formed on the inner periphery of the joining column 47. ing. A scale 42 is engraved on the outer circumference of the top cover 40. In this embodiment, the space inside the top cover 40 has a capacity of about 10 tablespoons of a general medium size, and therefore, the scale is marked so as to divide the space into 10 equal parts. Each scale is provided with a number that gradually increases in a counterclockwise direction from the outlet 43 side.

The partition plate 35 includes a hollow cylindrical portion 351 and a blade portion 352 that extends radially outward from the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 351. The cylindrical portion 351 is rotatably fitted to the outer periphery of the joining column 47, and the outer peripheral end portion 353 of the wing portion 352 slidably contacts the inner wall surface of the top cover 40. The space inside the top cover 40 can be divided in the circumferential direction by the wings 352.

When quantifying the powdered milk, the through hole 15 is opened in the space on the side having the outlet 43 in the space inside the top cover 40 divided by the wing portion 352 in the circumferential direction. The space inside the top cover 40 on the side where the through hole 15 is open serves as a quantitative space for the powdered milk. When the powdered milk container is turned upside down, the powdered milk in the can body 10 is filled in the quantitative space through the through hole 15. After the top cover 40 is rotated in the circumferential direction with respect to the can body 10 to close the through hole 15 with the bottom plate 44, the palate 45 of the outlet 43 is opened to discharge the milk powder in the fixed amount space. Thus, according to the powdered milk container of one embodiment of the present invention, the powdered milk in the can 10 can be quantified at any time as needed.

As shown in FIG. 1, a protrusion 151 protruding toward the top cover 40 is provided on the partition plate 14 near the large scale of the through hole 15. The protrusion 151 is used to adjust the volume of the quantitative space. As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the space a is formed on the top cover 40 side at the joint where the top cover 40 is pulled upward, the lower end of the wing portion 352 is lower than the upper end of the protrusion 151. Is also located on the upper side. Here, when the top cover 40 is pressed downward, the space at the joint between the top cover 40 and the can body 10 moves from the space a to the space b on the can body 10 side, as shown in FIG. As a result, the lower end of the wing portion 352 comes into contact with the upper surface of the partition plate 14. When the top cover 40 is rotated in this state, the rotation of the partition plate 35 is stopped by the lower end of the wing portion 352 contacting one end of the protrusion 151. That is, the rotation of the wing portion 352 can be controlled by the protrusion 151. When the wing portion 352 is moved to the side where the scale 42 is large to increase the volume of the quantitative space, the top cover 40 is rotated clockwise. On the other hand, when the wing portion 352 is moved to the side where the scale 42 is small, the top cover 40 is pulled up to the state shown in FIG. 4, and the lower end of the wing portion 352 passes over the protrusion 151, and then the top cover 40 is moved downward. Hold down. Thereby, the rotation of the wing portion 352 can be controlled by the other end of the protrusion 151. When the top cover 40 is rotated counterclockwise from this state, the wing portion 352 can be moved to the side where the scale 42 is small, and the volume of the quantitative space can be reduced.

When the top cover 40 is released from the pressure after adjusting the position of the wing portion 352, the positional relationship between the top cover 40 and the can body 10 becomes an intermediate state between the state shown in FIG. 4 and the state shown in FIG. At this time, the partition plate 35 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the top cover 40, and the friction force between the partition plate 35 and the top cover 40 is larger than the friction force between the partition plate 14 and the can body 10. Is bigger. Therefore, the partition plate 14 rotates together with the can body 10 until the protrusion 151 of the partition plate 14 contacts the partition plate 352. Therefore, since the top cover 40 can be rotated with respect to the partition plate 14 and the through hole 15 can be opened and closed by the bottom plate 44, the top cover 40 is not removed from the can body 10 and the required amount can be adjusted at any time. The powdered milk can be quantitatively taken out from the can body 10.

A peripheral edge portion 141 of the partition plate 14 forms a taper surface whose diameter is slightly reduced downward, and an inner peripheral edge portion 13 of the can body 10 is tapered with a taper angle which is substantially equal to that of the peripheral edge portion 141. Forming a surface. When the top cover 40 is pressed from above, the partition plate 35 and the partition plate 14 are brought into close contact with each other by pressing the peripheral edge portion 141 of the partition plate 14 by the corner portion 411 of the bottom edge 41 as shown in FIG. When pressure is not applied to the top cover 40, the partition plate 14 can be rotated with a light force by gripping the top cover 40 as described above.

When assembling the powdered milk container of this embodiment, the top cover 40 is first placed upside down, the partition plate 35 is attached to the top cover 40, and then the partition plate 14 is fitted. Then, the top cover 40 to which the partition plate 35 and the partition plate 14 are attached is placed as a lid of the can body 10. When the milk powder is replenished in the can body 10, the separating plate 35 and the partition plate 14 are also removed together with the top cover 40 removed, so that the refilling operation of the milk powder is easy.

In this embodiment, all parts of the milk powder container are made of a resin material having elasticity. Therefore, it can be easily disassembled and washed, which is hygienic. The height of the protrusion 151 does not limit the rotation of the partition plate 35 when the top cover 40 is pulled up, and controls the rotation of the partition plate 35 only when the top cover 40 is pressed from above. It is set. Therefore, the top cover 40 can hold the partition plate 35 and the partition plate 14 to rotate the top cover 40 with respect to the can body 10, and the top cover 40 can hold only the partition plate 35. It is also possible to rotate the top cover 40 with respect to the can 10 and the partition plate 14.

As described above, according to the powdered milk container of one embodiment of the present invention, it is convenient to carry, and since the can body 10 is provided with the reduced diameter portion 11, it is easy to hold by hand and has a rounded appearance. It is beautiful with a tinge. The powdered milk contained in the can body 10 is filled in the fixed amount space from the through hole 15 and taken out to the outside from the outlet 43. At this time, the through hole 15 is closed by the bottom plate 44. It is not necessary to use a spoon or the like for the operation of quantifying and taking out the milk powder, and the milk powder is taken out by opening only the palate 45 without fully opening the top cover 40. Therefore, the contact between the powdered milk and the air is reduced, so that it is less likely to absorb moisture and deteriorate, and it is hygienic because it does not come into contact with human hands. Since the volume of the quantitative space can be adjusted by moving the position of the dividing plate 35, the amount of powdered milk to be taken out can be set at any time. By moving the partition plate 35 using the protrusion 151 provided on the partition plate 14, the volume of the quantitative space can be adjusted without removing the top cover 40. When the top cover 40 is removed from the can body 10, the partition plate 35 and the partition plate 14 are also removed together, so that the refilling operation of the powdered milk into the can body 10 is easy.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the container with a fixed quantity function of the present invention is used as a powdered milk container has been explained. However, the container with a fixed quantity function of the present invention is used for detergents, powdered chemicals and granular chemicals. You may use as a container. When used as a container for detergents, an appropriate amount of detergent can be measured and used according to the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling. In addition, the detergent in the container is prevented from absorbing moisture, and the detergent is not spilled from the container. When used as a container for powdered medicines and granular medicines, it is sanitary because it is possible to put the measured quantity of medicines directly into the mouth without using medicine packing paper or palms. In addition, the chemicals in the container can be protected from moisture and mold in the air, and the chemicals can be prevented from deteriorating due to oxidation.
